Rig Problems with Yaesu FT-897.

I have downloaded and installed the .zip file for the FT-897. Result is that the Ptt responds, but not the frequency control.

After installing Omnirig 1.2, Omnirig does not find some accesses. It would be better if Hamradio Deluxe would take over the control.

Operating system: Windows 10Pro.

Who can help me ?

This is how I have my FT897 working with VaraAC. Using a RigBlaster Advantage for the sound interface. Not using OmniRig, using the latest CAT file from VaraAC. I have the CAT setting enabled and at 38400 in the radio. The frequency control works on my configuration.

Hello Bob .

New problem with the Yaesu FT-897.

Ptt and Cat are OKy. Sound setting in laptop are also Oky. Unfortunately the FT-897 does not send a signal when I go on the air. With WSJT-X and FLDIGI or Winlink I have no problems.

Do you have any idea ?

Are the sound card settings and drive level in VARA HF set correctly? If you use the TUNE button in VARA HF does the radio transmit?
